What this shows Optum's Innovation Score is 61.5/100 (top 3% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Optum?

Each dot is one of Optum’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Optum’s own 19.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Optum's grants concentrate

Optum Services (Ireland) Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 75.2% of grants classified under G06N (Computing Arrangements Based ON Specific Computational Models). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (30 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Optum sits between James Hardie Technology Limited and Sony Corporation OF America.

Optum's three-year grant acceleration

Optum Services (Ireland) Limited shows 77 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
